@mary: I have not forgotten to use google, my comment above was more of a joke
BTW, is it possible to move this thread back to the SME 8? This is not about a contrib, but rather for the base system.
Now, I don't know if this is useful (and correct for that matter), but I did find what should be done in order to be able to mount foreign NFS shares
yum install nfs-utils
ln -s /etc/init.d/portmap /etc/rc7.d/S92portmap
The first command is definitely needed, not sure about the second one though at least in the context of SME templating etc. What
is certain is that if portmap is not running, I can not mount anything... The choice of rc7.d and S92 (in S92portmap) were arbitraty: when
bug 7006 is fixed, I'm certain that proper choices will be made
